Abstract
The paper analyzes a new distributional pattern of there-sentences in the extreme southern varieties of Italy. Indefinite pivots are complementary distributed according their [±countability]: if they are countable, they select ‘to be’; otherwise, they single out an inflected form of ‘to have’ or ‘to be’.
